Chapter 44: Flesh Pain
In a trendy shoe store on the fifth floor of Bosheng Vico Plaza, Shi Rujin finished settling the account at the cash register and walked back to Shi Chenchen.
Shi Chen sat on the shoe stool, turned his feet to put on the new shoes, and then picked up another pair of admiration in his hand, and knew from his expression that he was so happy that he flew up at the moment.
"Let's go, Huo Wei is waiting for us in the restaurant. Shi Rujin looked at Shi Rujin, who was already an adult, but his face was still full of childish Shi Chen, and couldn't help laughing.
"Sister, when you go back and ask your aunt, don't tell them how much the shoes cost, for fear of scaring them!" Shi Chenchen stood up, tiptoed twice on the spot, and specially instructed Shi Rujin.
"Control your big mouth first, I'm afraid you'll recruit yourself!" Shi Rujin said with a disgusted face.
Shi Chenchen immediately shook his head and shook his head: "Big mouth, it's really not me, just talk about the car hall that day, who would have thought that Brother Wei would run to our house, he had to poke it out, and I was scolded by my mother!"
Shi Rujin was happy to use Huo Wei as a negative teaching material, and warned Shi Wei: "Don't learn from him in the future!"
Shi Chen agreed: "Sister, don't you think that Brother Wei is good anywhere, but he talks a lot, he is not mature enough, the city government is too shallow, and he doesn't look domineering when he is the president." ”
"I know him quite well, but you just talk about others, have you ever thought about yourself?" Shi Rujin looked amused.
Shi Chen's neck stiffened: "How can this be compared, I am still a child, he is so old!"
"Little children...... You're really embarrassed to say it!" Shi Rujin glanced not far away, and was looking at Shi Chen's clerk, turned around and walked outside the store.
Shi Chen picked up his things and chased them outside, and grinned: "No way, if you don't pretend to be a concubine, you'll be old!"
"Flesh and numbness!" Shi Rujin simply stopped, and when Shi Chenchen walked to him, he raised his foot to step on his tide shoes: "How do I feel that you are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, who is old?"
Shi Chen hurriedly jumped to the side, and protested: "Sister, you can step on my face, but you must not step on my shoes!"
Shi Rujin teased: "I suggest that you don't take off your shoes when you go to bed at night." ”
"That's a good idea!" Shi Chen squeezed his eyes at Shi Rujin.
The sisters and brothers went up to the pedestrian elevator, Shi Rujin asked casually: "How is Xiaobai, did you help me thank others, thanks to her next to take care of me that night, otherwise, I don't know when I will be able to enter the ward, my brother is at a critical time, and there is really no one to give the little girl." ”
"You were lying on a stretcher at that time, and I wasn't always around!" Shi Chenchen was a little unconvinced.
"What are you doing next to you, apart from the ghost roaring and screaming?" Shi Rujin asked with a smile.
Shi Chenchen seemed to think about it seriously, and then "um" for a long time, and said: "Anyway, let's pass this matter, I think Xiaobai is interesting enough, so I decided, she is now my confidante, if she passes the test, let her be my girlfriend." ”
Shi Chen said loudly, Shi Rujin looked at him for a moment, and finally burst out laughing.
"Who do you think you are, people are still rushing to slap you?" Shi Rujin laughed for a long time, then complained about his younger brother, and couldn't help but admonish: "If you think Xiaobai can be friends, help each other and respect each other, as for girlfriends...... Forget it, you know what!"
Shi Chen was very dissatisfied: "Sister, you're boring, why can't I have a girlfriend, Xiaobai said that she didn't have a good impression of me, she praised me for being brave, and was willing to stand up when she was most dangerous, by the way, that Yuanyuan, and claimed to be Xiaobai's best friend, at that time, the gangsters came around, and this woman's death dragged Xiaobai in front of her, and she simply ran away!"
"Yuanyuan?" Shi Rujin seemed to remember, that day when he went to the car hall with Shi Chen, there was another girl, but later, he didn't see her again.
"Don't mention her!" Shi Chenchen said at this time: "Sister, you don't know, Xiaobai is quite pitiful, a few years ago, she lost her mother on the front foot, and her father married another wife on the back foot, I heard that she has a child now, and she doesn't care about her." ”
"Is it not easy?" Shi Rujin didn't expect Xiaobai's situation to be so bad, nodded sympathetically, and couldn't help asking: "She went to a foreign language school and is also going abroad?"
Shi Chenhehe: "She will be a sophomore soon, and she plans to take the TOEFL test and use her spare time to make up for English, Xiaobai said that she is very envious of me, and the family has arranged it for me." ”
"You're quite proud," Shi Rujin looked at Shi Chen: "If you can be admitted to the university by yourself, who would be willing to let you leave your hometown at such a young age and run so far." ”
Shi Chen's eyes flashed, and after a long time, he muttered: "I...... I don't want to go either. ”
"I really don't want to go abroad, it's not impossible, but the private university Uncle Jiang found for you, you can't go this time, how can you do if you don't study at your age, so you have to continue to go to repeat classes, then work hard for another year!" Shi Rujin waited for the elevator to reach the end, didn't look at Shi Chen, and walked towards another pedestrian elevator.
Shi Chen didn't follow for a while, and Shi Rujin didn't stop to wait.
This time, Shi Rujin decided to respect Shi Chen's thoughts.
Although outside Shi Rujin's ward that night, Huo Wei was venting his anger on Shi Rujin's matter, and finally provoked Shi Rujin, but in the past few days, Shi Rujin thought about it calmly and realized that she was indeed not qualified to arrange Shi Rujin's life with her subjective will.
Shi Rujin is not so strong, and she doesn't want to be so strong, so this time, she let Shi Yanchen choose herself.
"Sister," Shi Chenchen chased after him, hesitated for a long time, and said, "You have spent so much money......
"Money is always an external object," Shi Rujin stopped, turned to look at Shi Chenchen: "No matter what, the road is to walk out on your own, even if I believe in self-righteousness that everything I do is for your good, if you don't want to, you can't come." ”
"Really...... Aren't you going?" Shi Chen's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be moved.
Shi Rujin didn't speak again, his eyes fell on the light sign of the "Xiangman Pavilion" downstairs, and Huo Wei was waiting for them in that restaurant.
When he was about to arrive at the door of Xiangman Pavilion, Shi Chenchen shouted from behind: "Sister!"
Shi Rujin turned his head and looked at Shi Chen: "What's the matter?"
"If I don't go abroad, will you still treat me as a younger brother in the future?" Shi Chen asked after blinking his eyes for a long time.
"What nonsense!" Shi Rujin said, even though his face was calm at this time, he sighed in his heart.
In addition to the tuition fees of the American Chinese language school, Lao Tong also helped Shi Chen rent an apartment next to the school, Shi Rujin has paid for this for a year, plus the air ticket money to the United States, it is really so lost, it is a lie to say that it is not painful.
Shi Chen scratched the back of his head: "You will give pocket money in the future, and ...... Do you want to buy trendy shoes?"
Shi Rujin laughed: "Look at your performance, don't think that if you stay in China, you can eat, drink and have fun." ”
Shi Chen looked down at his toes, seemed to think for a long time, and said hesitantly: "I...... I'll think about it again!"
Shi Rujin glanced over, turned around and entered the restaurant.
A waiter came over, asked the name of the box, and led the sister and brother to the box.
At this moment, it is the time of arrival, and the store is full of people, and it seems that business is excellent.
This Chinese restaurant is decorated with a high-end decoration and a stylish layout, and the whole environment is so elegant that it does not look like a place to eat, especially in the box area, surrounded by corridors, which makes people feel like they are winding paths.
"Brother Wei invited us here for dinner, and the day after tomorrow, my mother and uncle will invite him, the grade will definitely not be as good as here, it's a little embarrassing to think about it!" Shi Chenchen muttered very worriedly.
Shi Rujin replied casually: "Don't think about it, you won't go abroad, what will you do the day after tomorrow!"
"Didn't I think about it?" Shi Chen pouted.
Shi Rujin was helpless and urged: "You hurry up and think about it, I'll hurry up and refund the ticket, decide one day earlier, and save me some refund fees!"
"Then ...... Don't retreat," Shi Chenchen actually said: "I want to go again!"
"I've convinced you!" Shi Rujin looked at Shi Chen, looking forward to it in his heart, Shi Chenchen should not give up the chance that there may only be one time.
Not far away, the door of a private room opened at this time, and it seemed that some guests had just dispersed, and many people rushed out of it.
The waiter who led the way to Shi Rujin professionally gave way to the side, so that Shi Rujin also stopped.
Inadvertently raised his eyes, Shi Rujin saw a pair of men and women hugging each other intimately coming towards him.
The man's height is rarely tall, definitely more than 1.9 meters, and his figure is even more sturdy and sturdy, a bit of an athlete's posture, but what attracts Shi Rujin more is the very petite lady next to him.
The two of them didn't pay attention to the gaze around them at all, only lowered their heads and whispered, and walked straight outside.
Shi Rujin stared at the two of them for a long time, and only after they both turned a corridor did he withdraw his gaze.
"Hey, is that Brother Hi?" Shi asked as he leaned over to the waiter, who was about his age, and poked him with his elbow.
The waiter immediately laughed, lowered his voice and said to Shi Chen: "No, our foreman personally manages his box, I heard that in addition to Brother Hi, there are also several big names in the sports circle, all of whom are praising him!"
"Wow, that's cool!" Shi Chen's face was envious.
"Who is that?" Shi Rujin asked puzzledly, she is really old, and she doesn't know many of the idols that children like now.
"Sister, you're too dirty, hey brother, the hottest basketball star now, a talented three-point player, known as China's future Jordan, after a while, people will go to the United States to participate in the draft, anyway, sooner or later they will enter American professional basketball!"
"Draft, do basketball stars also have to sing and dance?" Shi Rujin asked as a matter of course.
"You don't understand, you can't even say it, he plays ball, what does it have to do with singing and dancing?" Shi Yanchen immediately looked down.
Shi Rujin looked at Shi Chenchen and asked, "What does it have to do with you when people sing and dance?"
"He doesn't sing!" Shi Chen felt defeated by Shi Rujin, so he simply ignored her, turned his head and discussed with the waiter: "You didn't ask him, when will he go to the United States?"
"How dare you, we have rules and regulations here, don't harass guests. The waiter replied with a smile.
"Why didn't I react, I should have gone up and taken a photo just now. Shi Chen repented.
Shi Rujin was impatient: "Shi Chen, give you a choice, either go after your brother Hi, sing and dance with him, or go in with me for dinner!"
"Don't worry," Shi Chenchen said, and continued to ask the waiter: "Next to Brother Hi, is it his new girl? Wasn't she a popular actress before, this age is too old!"
The waiter didn't seem to dare to talk much, and spread his hands towards Shi Chen with a smile.
Originally, Shi Yanchen still wanted to ask, but Shi Rujin grabbed his arm and walked towards Huo Wei's box.
